New Arts and Culture Information Site Launches
The Princeton University Library and Princeton University's Center for Arts and Cultural Policy Studies recently launched CPANDA (The Cultural Policy & the Arts National Data Archive), claimed to be "the world's first fully interactive, Web-accessible digital archive of policy-relevant data on culture and the arts." CPANDA is designed to provide easy access both to current research findings and to previously hard-to-find data on the arts, including public opinion on the arts, city-specific data, and recently released statistics. The archive is accessible at http://www.cpanda.org.The Quick Facts section provides an overview of the information currently available in each of four research areas: artists, audiences, organizations, and support for the arts. Within each research area, it provides basic statistical data and graphics and a brief analysis addressing frequently asked questions. The Performing Arts Research Coalition (PARC) project has just released the data sets from the first five communities studied in its 3-year project to measure the level of participation in and support for the arts in 10 communities across the country. The data sets are now available on the CPANDA site. Source: CPANDA
